rollers on their sides facing each other and thek toothed segments on their sides facing away from each other. This requires a large distance between the two toothed segments for driving the shafts.

It is an object of the present invention to provide a simplified construction and a reduced overall width.

With this object and further objects in view, according to the present invention the toothed wheels carrying the two oppositely moved toothed segments carry the rollers and the toothed segments on the same sides, facing each other, which engage with a single toothed segment arranged in the plane `disposed between the two toothed wheels, said latter toothed segment having approximately twice the normal width and bearing the extensions with the cyeloid recesses, said extensions also having approximately twice the normal width.

Other and further objects, features and advantages of the invention will be pointed out hereinafter and appear in the appended claims forming part of the application.

In the accompanying drawings a now preferred embodiment of the invention is shown by way of illustration and not by a way of limitation.

Referring now to the drawing in greater detail, it will be seen that the sheets are fed by the feeding apparatus I, with the aid of the known sheet feeder 2 via the feed table 3 to the imp-ression cylinder t and taken along by the same, the `sheet being printed by the matter 6 inked by the inking device 5, whereupon the printed sheets `are passed through the chain delivery 'I with the grippers 56, 53 to the delivery pile board 8. The matter 6 is enclosed in a type bed 9 supported by four guides III in corresponding tracks II of the machine frame. Each track II is supported through vertical supports I2 on the Vbottom boom I3 of the main transverse girder of the machine frame formed in connection with the slanting tie wall Iii and the top boom I6. The vertical supports l2 terminate under each track I I in ribs I'I which are connected with the front walls I8. As indicated in Fig. 1, the bottom boom I3 has a slightly U-shaped form. The top boom IS is laterally displaced in relation to the impression line so that the toothed segment IS reciprocating the toothed rack 26 arranged in the center plane of the type bed 9 is permitted to move past the same in spite of its straight direction. The tie wall Ii is bulged at 2i in the compass of the toothed segment I 9 which is mounted on a shaft 22 mounted for oscillation at 23 and 24 and bearing outside of the side wall 25v of the machine frame a toothed segment 26 which as shown in Fig. 13, has at each end an extension 2i with a cycloid-shaped recess 28. The toothed segment 26 is alternately engaged by each of the two toothed segments 29, 29 each fastened on one of the oppositely rotating toothed wheels 3@ or 30', respectively. On the end of each toothed segment 29, 29 the respective toothed wheel bears a roller 3|, or 3|', for alternate engagement in 3 the cycloidv-shaped recesses 28, whereby the motion of the toothed segment 26 is retarded or accelerated, respectively, on engagement of one of the roilersenddisengagementoi other .roller- The opposte eine per the werbe@ wneeis .nl lend 30 is achieved by per se known and not shown means for the driving shaft 32, with the aid o@ a reversing wheel.
